    Tampa Tribune has laid off at least four from the newsroom since yesterday, according to Facebook reports.

    No one from Sports, apparently. Victim with the least seniority had 19 years.

    Sorry if this is old news for some of you ... I've out of town on business for the past few days.

    Updated to reflect that a major departure actually is a retirement.

    Saw from a friend at the Trib on Facebook that longtime Tampa Bay Bucs photographer Cliff McBride was let go. Had been with the paper for 30 years. ... Seems as if they'll be using all AP photos now, even for local Bucs coverage.

    Yeah, that was one of the more depressing moves of the week. Cliff is a good shooter and a good guy, period. He shot more for the paper than Bucs games, of course, and the Trib had more photogs than Cliff on the sidelines, but he excels at sports photography and has absence will be noticed in the Monday papers this fall.
